How to use this table

Find the row closest to your wire length and read across to the wire resistance. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Wire Resistance Calculator for a precise answer.

Need a value that is not in the table? — the Wire Resistance Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
